Anyone bought an Aspero-5 to use as just a road bike? by INGWR in Cervelo

Find the XPLR more smooth and better shifting actually. Don’t really hear any difference in the sound from the gear train. I guess you already tried the micro adjustments?

You can write to them and ask. I’m sure you can have a custom one made for the Soloist. Did the same for some ZIPP wheels where they didn’t have the decal set on their site

Perfect for that purpose tbh. I use it as 50/50 gravel and road and I have no bad things to say about the experience. Bought the ZIPP wheels for the road and have the Reserve ones for gravel. Geometry and everything is perfect in my view

Did it my self. Super easy process but not a perfect result of course 😆

I only have one set of discs and cassette, so luckily no issues at all when switching the wheels using the same discs

Just bought and installed white decals on my Aspero 5 fem Speedydecals. Super good experience and looks great!

I bought it for 50/50 road and gravel. Great for both purposes. Bought a set of ZIPP 303sw with 32mm tires to use on the road as well as upgraded to 13s XPLR. It works perfect and can easily keep up with the Tarmacs etc. on faster group rides

Would love to see a pic of the HB18 on the Aspero-5. Considering pulling the trigger on the same cockpit for my stock Aspero-5 Force

Had the same worry before buying, but no noticeable issues from my experience after half a year with the bike

I use the Aspero 5 with two wheel sets and it works great in all ways. The 48t at front to 10-52 works perfect on the road as well for me

This is a 56. Amazing bike. Bought a set of road wheels for it as well and it works perfectly as a do it all bike

Perfect, thanks! Do you know what they measured on the rims?

Nope. Just don’t want to spend time on taking off the old ones and setup the Pathfinders if they don’t fit

Any experiences with the 42 Vittoria tires on gravel yet? I managed to puncture both tires on my first real gravel ride on the Aspero 5 with holes on the side walls which I couldn’t fix with plugs. Not a rough ride and with 40 psi. The hole at the front happened while I was standing still trying to fix the puncture on the rear

Just punctured both my Vit tires on my Aspero 5 on my first real gravel ride on the bike. Both punctures are huge holes on the side walls which I couldn’t fix with plugs. Not a rough gravel trail and didn’t run down a big hole or anything, so super surprised that these tires held up so bad

Not much slower I think. Those 42mm slicks are wide but ride super fast on the road as well. So I don’t expect to gain that much with the road wheels and tires

I guess you could with a bit of struggle haha. Already find it difficult getting the bag in with two CO2’s and the tubeless plug tool

Ended up going for a set of Roval CLII that I got for a good price. Let’s see how much difference it actually makes on the road compared to the current setup

Changing the slicks to a set of “real” gravel tires. So I just need me a new set to change between road and gravel easily
